A new survey shows that, at least in the IT world, it may not be necessary, as Raleigh was found to be the least formal metro. Just 36 percent of CIOs surveyed said those interviewing for IT positions should wear suits.

Compare that with 58 percent in Philadelphia and 51 percent in Denver, the cities with the most traditional taste.

Nationwide, 46 percent of CIOs say a business suit is the most appropriate thing to wear to an IT job interview. A total of 34 percent of nationwide respondents favored khakis and a collared shirt.

But definitely don’t break out the jeans. Only 4 percent of CIOs surveyed nationwide say jeans and a polo shirt are appropriate attire.
